Fueling Collaboration Panel Discussion Series Two - Fire and the Wildland Urban Interface in the Eastern US

Notions of fire and the wildland urban interface often bring to mind scenes from the western United States, where catastrophic wildfires have led to catastrophic losses. In contrast, mapping efforts have found that the vast majority of the WUI acres can be found in the eastern United States. This panel will talk about how wildfire, prescribed fire, and climate change intersect in the WUI of the east.

Free to the public. Registration required.

Fueling Collaboration is an interactive virtual Panel Discussion Series designed to connect fire managers and researchers. Fueling Collaboration is created and hosted by the USDA Forest Service Northern  and Southern Research Stations, and the Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) Fire Science Exchanges in the Eastern U.S.. The Series was launched in 2020-2021 with the goal of connecting people throughout the region and across disciplines, exploring emerging fire science research and management considerations.

You may register for one or all Panels - listed below - and with your registration you can submit questions that we will use to craft and guide the  flow of the discussion among the Panelists. Go to each Panel webpage to see the Panelists.
